Red Hat / Fedora :: CUPS 1.3.7 - "recoverable: Network Host 'xx.xx.x.xxx' Is Busy"?
May 2, 2010
We just migrated from Solaris to RHEL 5 this weekend. All our printers are working fine using CUPS except for one model. Zebra QL 320+ mobile/wireless printers. We can ping the IP and printer-id from the server fine. But when you try to print a job to it from the command line or a test page from the CUPS interface, the printer status in CUPS shows ""recoverable: Network host 'xx.xx.x.xxx' is busy".This is a major issue for us as we have lots of these printers. All other printers - all Ethernet are fine; including Ethernet Zebra printers.
I got a bunch of machines (~10) that I share with my co-workers. I have appropriate .ssh file(s) set up so I don't get prompt for password when I try to ssh.Currently I ssh into these hosts and then do a top to check the load before I start using the machine. Because I don't want to be on a busy host.Can someone show me how to write a script that find a least-busy host given a list of hosts to check? (hardcoded is fine)
I have a printer configured on my Ubuntu server using CUPS amd made it available to the local network. The printer is recognized on my other Ubuntu machine without any problems. But on my Suse laptop, the printer is not recognized. Using the YaST printer Configuations, I choose the option "Recieve Printer Information from Remote CUPS servers. But no printer is found.But... when I choose Do All Yout Printing Directly via One Remote CUPS server and enter the correct IP address (192.168.1.100), the printer is found andI am sure the printer info is broadcasted because it shows up on my second Ubuntu PC. But why is it not recognized by default on my Suse machine
I've been running Fedora 12 for a few weeks on a laptop, and was just starting to get things the way I like it ... and last night as I was trying to unlock the screen using the fingerprint reader (which had always previously worked) the system became unresponsive and there was nothing I could do but push the power button. Now it will not boot up, I get one cursor flash when it's at the grub stage and then the screen goes dark, there is no hard disk activity. He's dead jim.
I'm a bit gutted and would like to recover this system if I can, rather than install something else over the top. I booted using an ubuntu live cd and mounted the lvm, and got into the /var/log/messages. The last entries in there before it crashed and burned are as follows:
The internal network is behind nat done by the PC Router.The TP Link is recieving wireless signal from outdoors and it has switching and basic routing capabilities. I'm using the PC router for better routing options.PC Router (or R for short) is a triple-booting machine - Linux, FreeBSD and Windows. It has two lan cards - external (ext_if) - 100Mbps Realtek 8139 and internal (int_if) - 1Gbps integrated Realtek 8169.The problem is that all traffic from R to the network is slow - about 5-20K, while the traffic in the oppoiste direction is all right - about 10MB that is fine for 100Mbps cables, NICs and switches. The problem persist no matter the OS the pc R is running.I've tried some debugging on the situation as follows:
- put another PC at the place of R - everything is fine. That exclude the possibility of damaged cables, RJ-45s, switches and etc. - connected both of the NICs to the Internet while the internal network is being disconnected and they both work fine (no delays) - traffic shaping is not running - there is nothing in firewalls except NATing the internal network (and it is working fine). Actually these firewall rules have been operational for more than months and everything was fine untill a week or two ago. - changed the internal NIC with another - connected the internal network directly to the TP and all of the PCs are getting good network performance. Then connected the R machine to the TP as well and there was good performance between the internal network PCs and R. - R has good performance to the TP. In fact everything has good performance directly to the TP (when not connecting trough R). - the problem persist only between R and machines from the internal network.
My Windows guests see my VMware Host Only folders as \.hostShared Folders But when I try to see them from a Linux guest, all I get is frustrated. No permutation of that seems to work. Because the Windows guests see the shared folders I know the host is doing its part in providing them. After two days of not finding an answer on the VMware Workstation forum I finally figured out that the problem really is how to look for them with Linux. With Linux I can turn off all NICs accept the Host Only NIC, put smb://172.16.138.1 into the address bar and see all the shares on the host, but not the folder designated as the host only folder.
I have two machines on my local netowrk, one running Fedora 9 and the other Fedora 11,(64 bit version).I made one, machine A, into an NSF server and arranged to export a directory to the other machine B.I made sure the firewalls were allowing nsf traffic, and I restarted all the relevant daemons.But the mounting still doesn't work.I looked at the setup on my Linksys router, but I don't see anything obvious there that might be getting in the way.ping and ssh recognize my names for the two machines and work properly, bu t I've also tried using the numeric local ip addresses.I tried with the program showmount on B to see if there was any connectivity and I getB% showmount -e Aand I get the responseclint_create:RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: unable to receive.I used to manage a departmental network and set up nfs mounts all the time, but things were simpler then. I am at a lost what to look at next
i installed RHEL 6 as virtual host on one of the blades on HP enclosure. i set up network on eth0 and started it but i cannot even ping gateway from within this installation. i logged in as root. i set up everything such as IP, netmask, gateway, nameserver etc.
I want to backup a lot of files on an external 2TB USB and sit it in a cupboard for the next 10 years. Looking for the most reliable filesystem for this. I don't care about speed, journalling, UNIX permissions or any of that stuff. All I care about is in 10 years time when the hard disk plates are rusted and unreadable and the drive hardly functions, what filesystem will be the easiest to recover my data from. Not ruling out FAT32 either for its simplicity but maybe there's a better filesystem for the job?
i have some cron-jobs to make small backups with tar. if i test them manually, they run perfectly everytime. but if the cron job starts it don't works. the created archive is to small, and if i type "tar tvf filename" i will see some files in the archive and then:
"tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"
today I tried to configure a network route to a host for testing my network interface. Code: route add 192.168.1.15 eth0 As I have to eth interfaces and both interface got their IP from DHCP (192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.12) and are in the same subnet, I shut the other interface down:
Code: ifconfig eth1 down Then I tried to test the interface by doing a ping to 192.168.1.15. Problem: When I unplug the cable from eth0 (and eth1 is still plugged) the ping still works. Somehow my linux (it's debian) powers up again eth0 and pings over this port.
How can I stop my linux doing this. I just want to have the route added only on the one interface - not the other. Is it maybe some case of a default-gateway?

I have inserted my handy drive. However, when I right click and select unmount I get the following message:
Code: An application is preventing the volume "New Volume" from being unmounted
So I try from the command line:
Code: umount /dev/sdb1 And I get the following message:
Code: umount: /media/New Volume: device is busy. All I have done is copied some files to my handy drive. So I am not sure what process is keeping my handy drive busy.
Is there any command that I can use to see what process of anything else is using the handy drive?
1. Under openSUSE 11.2, I allowed printer sharing through CUPS by setting the Firewall to Allow Services of CUPS in the External Zone section. I don't see the CUPS option in the Allow Services of the Firewall under 11.4, any zone. Is my system missing something?2. If I turn off the Firewall, the client computer can see the printers, even get the broadcasted names. If I put port 631 in TCP of the Advanced setting of the External Zone, the client computer can see the printer too, but I know I read somewhere that putting 631 in the External Zone is basically allowing printer requests from the entire internet.
I have a mac and an openSUSE box connected wirelessly to a router. From my mac, if I ping the Linux machine by both ip address and hostname "elmo.local", I get a response. If I ping my mac from the Linux machine using its ip address, I get a response. However, if I ping the mac from the Linux box using its name "kermit.local" - nothing!
This means in order to share files between them via the network, I have to use the ip address rather than name, but I'd rather not. When I had Ubuntu installed instead of openSUSE this all worked fine out of the box, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the setup of openSUSE rather than the router or the mac.

I have 2 HDs, an old one with LVM (sda) with two partitions, sda1 and sda2, and the new one without LVM (sdb). I want to format the old sda device. I tried with sfdisk, but it says that the sda is busy:
But there is no call in /etc/fstab to sda, I did a /sbin/swapoff -a, and this is the output of df:
I've been at this mess pardon my french for a few hours and i'm still going nowhere, original thread posted over at archlinux forums:Since my printer isn't visible on my server (works just fine on my client) I tried to manually add various URI (tried em all) and I went from "printer location not found, waiting for jobs, to printer isnt running".
In my opinion it should be working but it's not, i've read the linux printer database/various linux forums/#cups on freenode (idled for 2 days no response)/gentoo wiki/forums and the old tool "google" but most of the "hacks" I tried didn't work.There's a lot of google links with issues similars to my own and alas they are all unresolved, is this a typical problem with unix/CUPS over servers/network?Why is it so difficult for CUPS to detect my printer over my server?
I have an ubuntu server (9.04) that needs to share a printer (a Brother 2070N on USB). To configure cups, I had to modify cups.conf quite a bit to let me access the printer management pages, but I did get it working. I can print using the lpr command, as well as print test pages using the management interface's "Print Test Page" button from any computer on my network. However, I cannot actually set up Ubuntu, Fedora, Vista, or OSX to see the network printer, and it's driving me insane.Brother from any computer on the network I can see the specific printer management page, but no computer can actually print to the printer (other than using the "print test page" button)
Is it possible to use CUPs to share an already networked printer using IPP? The printer itself uses IPP.I know at first look this may seem like a silly thing to do, however I have a special case to set up a "print proxy server" due to security compliance reasons
I just intalled OpenSuse 11.2 on VmWare Server 2.0.2, the network is configured as Bridged and is sucefully configured a fixed IP in my network. Ok... The problem is... I can ping / trace all addresses from OpenSuse console. But I Can't wget all of them... It's a random thing. the same address that trace's ok, don't work for HTTP.
After upgrading to fedora 15, I have problems mounting XFS filesystem.

Device is not mounted, and directory is not in use, it has just been created. There is nothing in log files that could remotely point the cause. After removing device (echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/delete) and reattaching it, disk started working.
I am unable to figure out how to set up a net work printer with new squeeze installation. I have used cups ver 1.3.8 on lenny and have never had any difficulty, this new version 1.4.4 I'm unable to gain any ground with.I did a purge and re-install with no luck?
I have a CUPS server with several end users. The problem is that the printer stops printing if someone trys to print in letter size. (You have to insert letter paper or abort the print job on the printer.)
No, I'm looking for a way to force printing jobs to A4 paper size.
how to do this? Maybe with custom cups filters, but I don't know how this is done.
Ok have setup my printer under suse 11.3 just fine and printing perfectly, and have added the printer to a windows 7 client, but had to get the disk to install the windows driver. Is there any way that i can put the windows driver on the linux machine so that when i go to a windows client and want to add the printer, i can just connect to the printer and the windows driver will be installed over the network like it does with windows servers?
I am on Ubuntu 10.04. I had a network printer added, but suddenly now the printer seems to have disappeared. What's more, System->Administration->Printing doesn't allow me to add a new printer.The System->Admin.->Printing troubleshoot said the following:
"The CUPS print spooler does not appear to be running. To correct this, choose System->Administration->Services from the main menu and look for 'cups'". System->Admin.->Services does not exist. Searching on the net led me to believe that /etc/init.d/cups start would start cups for me, but that does not seem to be happening.
I just recently bought a WinStar USB LPR Network Print Server so that I could connect my printer to my network so all the machines on my network could print, and everything would be OS independent. The problem I'm having is that I can't get CUPS to connect to the printer. It either never prints anything, saying that the printer is not connected, or saying that LPR is spooling the job, but it never completes. I've been configuring it as a network printer in CUPS, and trying all the different configuration options to no avail. The print server is located on http://192.168.1.103 and is pingable. The print server I have is this one:
WinStars Networking USB LPR Print Server
What is the correct way to set up a print server like this so I can print to it?
What am I doing wrong here in compiling 1.2.6! I am following this link: url
What is wrong with this?? I DL'd wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2 from url, which got me this:
~$ tar -xvjf wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2 tar: wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
What did I do wrong?? And bunzip2 gives this:
~$ bunzip2 wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2 bunzip2: Can't open input file wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2: No such file or directory.
BTW, the file is on the Desktop. The reason for all this work is that 1.3.12beta no longer has the mixer toolbar built-in that allowed easy to choose devices like "line-in","mic", etc. I have 1.2.6 installed on an XP machine and it is great.
I have been using VMware Player for some time to host Fedora VMware images on Windows XP. I have been using Fedora 11 and 12 (both 32 and 64 bit) and recently started to use Fedora 13.
I use as a base the images provided by thoughtpolice. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/
I usually install VMware tools and also keep the images updated (yum update) which sometimes changes the kernel.
I have recently had problems with the snapshots not having a network when I restore them. So far I don't have the problem with Fedora 11 and do have it with Fedora 12 (but used not to). I do have it with Fedora 13.
In each case the problem goes away when I uninstall the VMware tools and comes back when I install them again.
One of the symptoms is that SElinux complains about not being able to do something with /var/run/vmware-active-nics.
It looks to me that something is incorrect in the actions being taken when the snapshot is being restored. It does not happen every time and sometimes the network restores itself.
The network can be restored by rebooting the image.
